  • Leon Black Storms Out Of His Epstein Related Congressional Interview (7/6/26)
    Leon Black was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee in the middle of his closed-door testimony about Jeffrey Epstein after he refused to answer questions about possible non-disclosure agreements involving women connected to Epstein. Chairman James Comer said lawmakers wanted the NDAs to determine whether Epstein was involved in writing them, arranging them, funding them, or using them to silence women in his orbit. One subpoena demands the NDA records, and another requires Black to return for videotaped testimony under oath on July 16. Black’s lawyer, Susan Estrich, blasted the move as a “planned political stunt” and said Epstein had no involvement with any NDAs, whether they exist or not.

    Black told lawmakers he had no role in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes, no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse, and never paid Epstein for access to women. He repeated that he hired Epstein for tax and estate planning work, saying Epstein “solved a massive estate problem” and that he believed the fees were partly tax-deductible, even though the total eventually came to about $158 million. Black said Epstein deceived him, describing the relationship as “I knew Jekyll” and “I didn’t know Hyde,” while also pointing to an Apollo-commissioned Dechert review that found no evidence he participated in Epstein’s crimes. The committee’s focus, however, is now moving beyond the old explanation about tax advice and into whether Black’s private legal arrangements with women intersected with Epstein’s network.

  • Disgraced Prince Andrew And HIs Adventures On The Tax Payers Dime
    In the early 2000s, while serving in an official capacity as the UK’s Trade Envoy, Prince Andrew travelled to Thailand for what was publicly described as a diplomatic mission. According to historian Andrew Lownie, the visit included a stay in a five-star Bangkok hotel rather than at the British embassy, and during what was designated “private time” in the official itinerary he is alleged to have had up to 40 sex workers brought to his hotel suite over a four-day span.

    The allegations further claim that taxpayer funds were used to cover that trip, and that diplomatic and royal staff helped facilitate the hotel booking and stay. If true, this incident raises serious ethical questions about the use of public office for personal indulgence, the accountability of royals on trade missions, and the lack of transparency in the files covering Andrew’s envoy years (2001-2011).


    During the early 2000s, Prince Andrew is reported to have visited Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch — identified as Zorro Ranch, near Santa Fe — which has become notorious in civil suits and media scrutiny for alleged sex-trafficking and under-age abuse claims. The allegations in court documents and depositions assert that Epstein used the ranch for illicit activity, including recruiting minors for so-called “massages” and transporting guests to the property via private landing strip. Among the names listed in these documents is Prince Andrew, though the papers do not allege direct sexual activity by him at the ranch; rather, the presence of his name in guest logs or mentions in deposition material raises serious reputational concerns.

  • Goga Ashakanazi And Her Pal Prince Andrew
    Goga Ashkenazi, the Kazakh businesswoman and socialite, is known for her close friendship with Prince Andrew. She defended him publicly when scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein intensified, saying he was “very, very upset” by how he was being portrayed in the press. Ashkenazi insisted that while Andrew may have exercised poor judgment by associating with controversial figures, she believed he was fundamentally kind-hearted, honourable, and unaware of any illegal activity. She argued that his work as a trade envoy and his character were being unfairly overshadowed by the scandal.

    Their relationship has also drawn attention due to high-profile financial dealings. Ashkenazi introduced Andrew to Timur Kulibayev, a Kazakh oligarch who purchased Andrew’s former home, Sunninghill Park, for £15 million — significantly above the asking price. The transaction sparked speculation about whether Ashkenazi acted as a facilitator or “fixer,” though she has denied receiving any financial benefit beyond making the introduction. The sale and her staunch defense of Andrew highlight how their friendship has been both personal and entangled in business and controversy.

  • Prince Andrew And His Disgraceful Behavior
    According to excerpts from Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, a new biography by Andrew Lownie, a tense encounter occurred following a storm in Northern Ireland in 2005. When the head of Hillsborough Castle informed Prince Andrew that the storm-damaged item had been planted by “the Queen Mother,” Andrew reportedly mocked the wording, asking, “Did you mean Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?” He then allegedly continued, "And you still don't know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f-king imbecile. Get out." A royal aide characterized the Duke’s behavior as “unbelievably cruel,” with reports that he often insisted, “I want this done and I want this done now. Do it!”

    This incident reinforces a broader portrayal of Prince Andrew as someone with a pattern of abrasive and demanding behavior toward staff. Royal sources and authors have frequently described such outbursts—whether through reported profanity, humiliation of aides, or other demeaning treatment—as symptomatic of his entitled demeanor behind the palace walls.

  • Former Prince Andrew And His Secret Benefactor
    Prince Andrew has managed to retain his residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor after securing funds from an undisclosed benefactor. This financial support emerged following King Charles III's decision to cut Andrew's £1 million annual allowance and discontinue payments for his private security. The legitimacy of these funds has been confirmed through a financial review led by Sir Michael Stevens, Keeper of the Privy Purse.


    The Duke of York's ability to maintain his 31-room estate has been a point of contention, especially given his diminished role within the royal family. Despite the financial challenges, Andrew's new source of income has enabled him to uphold his living arrangements, highlighting ongoing complexities within the House of Windsor regarding royal privileges and financial independence.

  • Prince Andrew And The Deposition That Never Was
    In August 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in the U.S. against Prince Andrew accusing him of sexual assault when she was a teenager. His legal team immediately attempted to block the case, arguing among other things that a 2009 settlement she made with Jeffrey Epstein released any potential claims against him. The court rejected the motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed and reach the phase where depositions (including his) were scheduled.

    Rather than face a full deposition and trial, Andrew settled the lawsuit in mid-February 2022 for an undisclosed amount, agreeing to make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s charity and to support efforts against sex trafficking, without admitting liability. Because of that settlement, the planned U.S. deposition of the prince was averted – the case did not go to a trial where he would have had to testify under oath in open court.

  • Prince Andrew And The Locked Files (6/19/26)
    British government files concerning Prince Andrew and his conduct as the United Kingdom’s special representative for trade and investment will remain sealed until 2065, according to a Foreign Office response to a Freedom of Information request submitted by royal biographer Andrew Lownie. The unusually long restriction means the records may not become public during Andrew’s lifetime, shielding details of his taxpayer-funded overseas travel, official dealings and relationships from meaningful contemporary scrutiny. Andrew served as Britain’s trade envoy from 2001 until 2011, when he resigned after renewed attention focused on his continued association with Jeffrey Epstein following Epstein’s conviction for sex offenses.


    Lownie condemned what he described as a “culture of secrecy” surrounding royal correspondence, arguing that Andrew’s public role and controversial associations create a compelling public interest in disclosure. He specifically pointed to unanswered questions about Andrew’s trade missions, his relationship with Epstein, his contacts with figures including Saif Gaddafi and convicted gun smuggler Tarek Kaituni, and the continuing public cost of his security. While government records are generally transferred to the National Archives and opened after 20 years, royal-related material receives special protections, allowing potentially important information about Andrew’s official activities to remain hidden for more than four decades.

  • Jeffrey Epstein Was Already Convicted—So Why Did Prince Andrew’s Security Team Miss It? (6/18/26)
    A former royal protection officer claims that Prince Andrew’s security team did not know about Jeffrey Epstein’s prior sex offense conviction when Andrew visited him in New York in 2010. The conviction was allegedly viewed as a localized U.S. matter rather than something that would automatically be flagged to British protection services. This visit occurred shortly after Epstein had served time for soliciting sex from a minor, and it was during that trip that Andrew was photographed walking with Epstein in Central Park—an image that would later become emblematic of the scandal.

    The explanation has done little to quiet the broader backlash surrounding Andrew’s continued association with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His decision to maintain contact with Epstein after his conviction remains one of the most scrutinized aspects of his conduct, reinforcing questions about judgment, awareness, and accountability. The controversy continues to linger, with critics arguing that the circumstances stretch credibility and highlight deeper failures in how such associations were handled at the highest levels.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell’s Emails Blow Up the Andrew Pizza Parlor Alibi (6/18/26)
    Newly released emails from Ghislaine Maxwell appear to confirm the authenticity of the infamous photograph showing Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor with his arm around Virginia Giuffre — a photo long disputed by both Maxwell and Andrew. In a 2015 draft statement sent to Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell wrote that in 2001 she was in London when Giuffre met several of her friends, including Andrew, and that a picture was taken “as I imagine she wanted to show it to friends and family,” effectively acknowledging the image was real and that she had introduced them. Maxwell’s email also stated Andrew visited her home, although she continued in the correspondence to claim she had no knowledge of “anything improper” occurring between Giuffre and Andrew.

    The release of these messages comes as part of a massive tranche of documents tied to Epstein that the U.S. Department of Justice disclosed recently. The emails contradict longstanding denials by both Maxwell and Andrew about the meeting and undercut Andrew’s past arguments that the photo might have been doctored. Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, had maintained the photograph supported her allegations that she was trafficked and abused; her family has described the new emails as vindicating her claims. Andrew settled a civil lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Buckingham Palace declined to comment, and UK police have so far not launched a full criminal investigation based on these revelations.

  • Prince Andrew Caught In Another Epstein Lie After Emails Emerge (6/18/26)
    Prince Andrew's continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein long after the disgraced financier's conviction exposes a troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment. Despite his public claims that he severed ties in 2010, newly surfaced emails show that he remained in touch at least until February 2011, casting doubt on his past denials. This revelation further erodes his already damaged credibility and raises serious questions about his willingness to mislead the public and authorities. If he had nothing to hide, why did he attempt to obscure the true extent of his relationship with Epstein? His actions suggest either reckless naivety or a deeper entanglement that he has yet to fully disclose.


    More disturbing is Prince Andrew’s refusal to acknowledge the implications of his continued association with a convicted sex offender. Rather than taking responsibility, he has evaded scrutiny, avoided cooperating with U.S. authorities, and relied on royal privilege to shield himself from accountability. The latest revelations should serve as a wake-up call that his attempt to distance himself from Epstein is nothing more than a carefully crafted illusion. His repeated missteps, from his disastrous BBC interview to these newly exposed communications, indicate a man more concerned with self-preservation than with transparency. If there is truly nothing more to hide, he should stop stonewalling and submit himself to a full investigation—anything less only deepens the suspicion surrounding his involvement.
